**Promise**: *One Billion Trees*

> “This government is committed to a new planting programme, **planting 100 million trees a year to reach a billion more trees in ten years.”**  
>  
> Speech from the Throne

**Broken Promise**:

> **No matter how you cut it the billion trees over 10 years promise is absolute nonsense. It’s not being delivered and won’t be.**

> The Prime Minister claimed in a video that her Government had planted 140 million trees.

> The NZ Herald: “FALSE – As of late October, just under 150 million trees have been planted in New Zealand, but the number of trees planted as a direct result of the Government’s funding is 25 million.”  
>  
> **Source: NZ Herald**

**Promise**: *Government Services*

> “Some government services will be regionalised.”  
>  
> Speech from the Throne

**Broken Promise**:

> The Government announced that the Forestry Service will be re-established in Rotorua, but no existing government services have transferred from the main centres to the regions.

**Promise**: *Tax*

> “The government will review the tax system… including better supporting regions and exporters, addressing the capital gain associated with property speculation and ensuring that multinationals contribute their share.”  
>  
> Speech from the Throne

**Broken promise**:

There has been no change whatsoever.

**Promise:** Tax

> “The government will review the tax system, looking at all options to improve its structure, fairness and balance”  
>  
> Speech from the Throne

**Broken promise**: Nothing has been done.
